By Jeff Caruso

A significant event that largely went unnoticed last week was a
brainstorming session among some of the world's top technical

IBM plugs in to powerline broadband trial

One day in the not too distant future, you may be able to tap
into the Internet by plugging your computer's modem straight
into an electric wall socket. IBM wants to make sure it has a
piece of the fledgling broadband-over-powerline market, and on
Monday it detailed a pilot project it's working on in Houston
with CenterPoint Energy to offer several dozen of the utility's
customers powerline broadband access.
